#BankWars: Nigerian Banks battle it out on Twitter

It started with a tweet from Sterling Bank, not-so-subtly shading 4 others: Union Bank, First Bank, GT Bank and Access Bank.

It was a very simple tweet, the bank writing: “Shoot for the moon, become a star – it’s the least you deserve. Welcome to #SterlingBank ”

The image attached to the tweet, however, had all the shade.

They unleashed … something, with the other banks coming for them, hard.

Access Bank was savage, writing:

We will travel on an imaginary rocket too, if we were a one-customer Microfinance Bank; but with ten million customers and counting, we rather bring the galaxy to you! #YouAreWorthIt #TakeTomorrow #KnowYourElders
